Giant Food is expanding its warehouse hub in Jessup, Maryland by 95,000 square feet this month.
The Landover grocery store chain said Monday the growth was in response to increased demand for its food products including organics, fresh produce and meat and seafood. The warehouse at 8580 Dorsey Run Road in Jessup will hire 30 new workers.
“The efficiency improvements and enhanced space for housing and distributing thousands of items at the warehouse will further our ability to grow to meet the needs of our communities,” said Joe Urban, a Giant vice president of distribution operations, in a statement. “We’re committed to continuing to innovate our operations to bring the highest quality of products to our shoppers.”
The expansion will increase the size of the warehouse footprint by 23%. It serves all 163 Giant Food stores in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia and Delaware market, Urban said.
